Simplifying the energy balance message for breast cancer prevention.
Article in Cancer prevention research (Philadelphia, Pa.), 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Simple prevention messages based on understandable biologic principles are likely to be adopted. The long-held premise that postmenopausal obesity elevates, but premenopausal obesity reduces, risk for breast cancer is confusing to the public. Furthermore, decades of positive energy balance may be difficult to suddenly reverse at the time of the menopause. In this issue (beginning on page 583), Cecchini et al. suggest that obesity may also be a risk factor for pre-menopausal women 35 and older who have additional risk factors for breast cancer. Although the relative impact of dysregulated energy metabolism depends on many factors including age, hormonal milieu, and competing risk factors, as well as how it is measured, avoiding weight gain after age 30 is increasingly being recognized as a simple way to reduce risk of breast cancer.
